From your scent profile
Banderas Her Golden Secret is a fresh, gourmand perfume for women: bright apple, bergamot and peach lead into orange blossom and gardenia, then settle on warm vanilla and tonka bean.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

OrientalWhat does Her Golden Secret smell like?
Mandarin orange and bergamot give a citrus lift at first, softened by apple and peach. In the heart, orange blossom, gardenia and blackcurrant make a floral, fruity bridge. The base turns sweet with tonka bean and vanilla, while cedar, musk and patchouli add a light woody, oriental footing.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters lean towards leisure and daily wear, with business and evening following. Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue NYC and Ulric de Varens Varens & Moi - L'Amour have a close profile.
